We're Goin' to the Ship!

There's no saying that getting to this point was easy, however. In just 2 games, the Owls are making an impression on this year's season.

Temple- 79

ESTU- 65

Temple- 70

C. of Charleston- 65

The Owls came into Saturday's matchup with a dominating win over ESTU- they now faced a familiar team that had shocked the Owls just a year ago. Temple would be without the services of Mark Tyndale, who scored 20 points and graduated after this past season.

Charleston, coming into this game also (1-0) had a victory against Southern Illionois-Edwardsville. Leading scorer for the Cougars was Soph. Guard Andrew Goudelock.

Into this game, though, there was another very slow start for both teams. Charleston had

shown, though, the reason that they had beaten the Owls last year. The Cougars maintained an intensity that kept them with Temple throughout the game. The second half was where things began to get heated.

Dionte Christmas and his squad came out a little soft, trading baskets for the majority of the second half. Charleston maintained a close game, hitting the necessary shots to keep their victory hopes alive. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough, as the Owls' held onto the game to continue in the Charleston Classic. With 1.0 left, Lavoy Allen sealed the deal with two free throws that made the final score 70-65.

Below are some of the statistics from this evening's game:

Dionte Christmas, 26 (TEM)

Marcus Hammond, 15 (CHA)

Lavoy Allen, 11 (TEMP)

Ramone Moore, 10 (TEMP)

Luis Guzman, 5 (TEMP)

Andrew Goudelock, 4 (TEMP)

The Owls' will play in the Championship game tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 pm vs. Clemson/TCU (See Photo to Right)
